My contract states I am limited to 42.5hrs a week though the company is asking me to join a 4x4 rota with 12hr shifts. That's 48hrs a week right.
I am understanding this correctly? I've heard from a colleague (permie) that the hours are worked out as an average factoring in the 4 days off you get. So using 12 x 4 / 8 x 7 we get 42 hours. But that's over 8 days. Fine if you are a permie but I am not.
The way I see it to make this work I could do say 3x 12hr shifts and a 6.5hr totaling 42.5hrs.
Any advice on how to approach this? Or let me know if I am way off!
